Supersize Crochet - Blog Hop and Giveaway

I am very pleased to be taking part in this Blog Hop celebrating Sarah Shrimpton's new book, Supersize Crochet! You may know Sarah from her blog, Annaboo's House, which I have been following for many years. You can also find Sarah on Instagram here - and while you're there, you can find me too!

I received a free PDF version of Supersize Crochet for the benefit of this post, and will be giving away a PDF copy to one lucky reader too! Read on to find out more...Firstly, let me tell you more about the book. As the name suggests, it's a book full of great crochet patterns using thick and chunky yarn - and you know what that means? The projects make up so quickly - just what I like! Here are some of the gorgeous projects you can make (image stolen from Sarah's blog)...

There are loads of fun projects, but one caught my eye straight away - the hanging pouch! So that is what I made...

It was perfect, as I had bought myself some t-shirt yarn last year. There had been just one tube/cone/ball (?!) left in Hobbycraft, and it was reduced to £2.50! I'd been wanting to try t-shirt yarn, so thought it was the ideal opportunity at that price, so I snapped it up.

However, I didn't know what to do with it, so it languished in my messy craft room until I saw the hanging pouch pattern in Sarah's book! It actually calls for a cotton cord and 7mm hook. However, I just knew it was the pattern my zingy lime green t-shirt yarn had been waiting for!
